A Timeless Flight
I have a narrative fiction podcast out called “A Timeless Flight”! You can listen to all episodes below or read the transcribed scripts!
A Timeless Flight tells the story of a lone astronaut, hopelessly lost in space, logging his journey, telling stories of his life back on earth and his thoughts above it - all while knowing he’s going to die in 10 days.
I, Kelly Shaw, am the sole creator, writer, actor, producer, and editor of every episode of A Timeless Flight.
I also composed and performed the song, “David”, featured in the Episode 6, 9 and 10 soundtracks. It can be found at the bottom of the page.
